Full Military honors, were accorded Lieut. George Gerald Rusk, army aviator who was killed January 26 at Brooks field, San Antonia, Texas, at his funeral services Saturday afternoon at Clark’s Hill. The impressive and formal military service provided a worthy and solemn tribute to the young flier who fell to his death. The olive drab of army uniforms, many of which were to be seen, and the bright insignia of officers’ uniforms recalled war days in the little town. Services for the popular flyer were held in the Christian church at Clark’s Hill. Many of the lieutenant’s friends and those of the family came to do him posthumous honor. The sight of the flag-draped coffin, and the strictly military air of the service, made it highly impressive to the large throng which came for the services. The body, which had arrived in Clark’s Hill Wednesday evening and taken to the home of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James F. Rusk, was carried to the church shortly before the hour of the service.
